Updated 1730z SPC OTLK for Day 2 (tomorrow, Sunday) has added 5 hail and 30 wind Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1203 PM CDT Sat Jul 04 2026 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING... ...SUMMARY... Scattered wind damage is possible with thunderstorms across the Mid-Atlantic Sunday afternoon and evening. Isolated strong storms also are possible across Montana and western North Dakota, and portions of the southern Plains to the Tennessee Valley. ...Mid-Atlantic... A weak surface low is forecast to move west to east along a sagging cold front/baroclinic zone draped across PA into northern NJ/southeast NY on Sunday/Sunday evening. Meanwhile, lee troughing will develop across VA. A hot and very moist airmass will reside near and south of these boundaries, which will serve as a focus for severe storm development during the afternoon and into evening. Southwesterly flow aloft will weaken through the day as an upper shortwave impulse lifts northeast of the region, but around 20-30 kt mid/upper-level flow will persist. Moderate to strong destabilization is expected and thunderstorm clusters are expected by early to mid-afternoon. Sufficient clustering could occur along the southward-sagging cold front and one or more forward propagating clusters will be possible from northern VA into southeast PA until storms move offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast during the evening. Sufficient consistency among deterministic/CAMs and AI/ML guidance exists regarding storm coverage to warrant an upgrade to 30 percent wind probabilities for portions of the region.

Agreed. I was very skeptical of the Euro and GFS going for three days in the 100s. We've seen that fantasy mid range heat vanish before. Not this time!

Definitely has been a quick development of cumulus clouds along the mts down here in the past 30 mins..

2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion
SolidIcewx replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Mesoscale Discussion 1491 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1149 AM CDT Sat Jul 04 2026 Areas affected...Much of Virginia...Maryland...and eastern West Virginia, Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 041649Z - 041915Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity while developing eastward through the afternoon. The primary concern will be scattered to numerous damaging wind gusts. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is likely. DISCUSSION...Widely scattered thunderstorms are evolving along the high terrain in WV and southwestern VA this afternoon. Continued diurnal heating and orographic lift will favor increasing thunderstorm development over the next few hours. Downstream, strong diurnal heating/destabilization of a moist air mass (upper 60s to lower 70s dewpoints) beneath steep midlevel lapse rates (sampled by 12Z soundings) will support thunderstorm intensification through the afternoon. While fairly weak deep-layer shear may limit overall thunderstorm organization, the aforementioned environment will favor a mix of cells and loosely organized clusters capable of producing scattered to numerous damaging wind gusts across much of VA and eventually into MD. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is likely for this activity.- 935 replies
